Hey mate!! This is Aanchal Parmar answering your question... Hope This Helps you

This industry may not seem like an obvious economic driver but, without transport by road, manufacturers wouldn’t have products and components, consumers wouldn’t receive goods, and businesses wouldn’t be able to trade internationally. Road transport plays a vital role in world commerce.

Without road transport and a safe, seamless, secure way to transport goods around the world, economies would soon collapse. The world relies on road transport to carry fuel to service stations, to take goods to supermarkets, to fulfil our online orders, to enable far-flung businesses to connect with the world, and get their goods to global destinations.

As the world body for the transport industry, IRU’s core mandate is to facilitate road transport, but we also do much more than this:

We help new countries to trade by road. We work with governments and chambers of commerce to address issues around infrastructure, open up new trade routes and make it easier to travel from one country to another.

We know that emissions are a key concern in the global conversation around climate change, and we want road transport to be part of the solution, not the problem. We partner with manufacturers and transport operators to create the greenest possible vehicles and keep carbon emissions down.

We want the road transport industry to be synonymous with safe, knowledgeable drivers who can transport all kinds of goods around the world. We also want these drivers and cargo businesses to be free from threat, danger and corruption. This is why IRU is the first port of call for the driving community, offering courses on safety, cargo handling and eco-efficiency through the IRU Academy, and ensuring that the road transport industry is a key player in stamping out corruption.
